Recommended Prior LearningYear 9 Japanese or by HOLA discretion
Students’ ability to communicate in Japanese is further developed through topics such as school life, sports and hobbies, food and drink, and describing themselves and others. Hiragana knowledge is consolidated, and Katakana script is introduced in Term Two.
All learning is approached through the lens of Te Ao Māori, using Ngā Kawatau as a guiding framework. This approach encourages students to engage deeply with Japanese language and culture while reflecting on their own identity, values, and perspectives as learners in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Students who have not studied Year 9 Japanese but wish to enroll in this course should consult the Head of Department before the end of Term 3.
